Realistic, yet irresistibly charming.
Take a relaxing moment with your favorite cup.
Deep in the countryside of Nantan, Kyoto, ceramic artist Takanobu Sawada works in a studio surrounded by nature’s quiet beauty.
His handmade pottery features lifelike animal motifs that radiate warmth, capturing the peaceful spirit of the traditional Japanese landscape.
Each piece is skillfully shaped and carved to provide a comfortable, user-friendly form—ideal for everyday use.
The soft, milky-white kohiki clay surface enhances the natural texture of the ceramic, embodying the gentle essence of Japanese craftsmanship.
Handcrafted warmth you can feel
The animal illustrations are hand-carved into the kohiki clay, not painted—bringing each line to life with movement and depth.
These expressive details give every piece a sense of individuality, blending artistic originality with traditional ceramic techniques.
Takanobu Sawada was born into a family of Kyoto potters—his father a ceramic artist specializing in Kyo ware and Kiyomizu ware. He’s been working with clay since childhood.
Now with over 20 years of experience, he has earned a reputation as a master craftsman, blending Kyoto tradition with personal creativity.
With refined skill and youthful imagination, Sawada creates one-of-a-kind pottery that reflects the heart of Kyoto’s traditional ceramic culture.
Bring the timeless beauty of handmade Japanese pottery into your home and enrich everyday moments.
